FIELD: electric rocket engines. SUBSTANCE: xenon is used as plasma forming gas; inner source of emitting agent is formed by jet fitted at outlet of plasma forming gas supply pipe line and thermogenerator of cesium vapors. Thermogenerator is located in inner cavity of cathode. Orifice of jet is oriented coaxially relative to capillary hole of cathode unit housing. Working clearance between end of jet and end wall of housing does not exceed diameter of capillary. EFFECT: enhanced operational efficiency and increased service life. 2 dwg
